Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Universal History from the Creation of the World to the Decease of George III, 1820 Vol V Volume 5 of Universal History from the Creation of the World to the Decease of George III, 1820 by Alexander Fraser Tytler, Woodhouselee (Lord Woodhouselee, 1747-1813) and Edward Nares, D.D., was issued by Harper & Brothers, New York, in 1848. It continues the multi-volume world-history work that Tytler began (originally Elements of General History, Ancient and Modern) and that Nares carried forward to the death of George III in 1820; the Harper edition was an American revision "edited by an American" gentleman. The content of Volume V falls in the early modern period. A prominent passage from the volume (p. 182) discusses the English constitution — specifically the tension between the hereditary Lords and the elective Commons, and the tendency of the crown to influence the upper house. This places the volume squarely in the era of English constitutional development, likely spanning roughly the late medieval / Renaissance period through the early Stuart era (Reformation, rise of nation-states, parliamentary growth).

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Universal History from the Creation of the World to the Decease of George III, 1820 Vol I Volume I of Universal History, from the Creation of the World to the Decease of George III, 1820 is the first volume of a multi-volume world history by Alexander Fraser Tytler, 1st Baron Woodhouselee (1747-1813), continued after his death by Edward Nares (Rev., D.D.) up to the death of George III in 1820, with American additions and alterations. The 1848 New York edition was published by Harper & Brothers (often listed simply as "Harper, 1848" in HathiTrust records), and the work was issued in several volumes — Volume I is the opening volume. In short, Volume I is a sweeping account of ancient civilization — from the earliest accounts of creation and the Nile Valley through the classical Greek and Roman worlds, ending at the dawn of the Roman Empire. It's written in Tytler's characteristic style: narrative history interwoven with moral and political commentary, treating history "as subservient only to the Science of Politics."
